Not all waste can be treated and disposed of like ordinary household garbage. Some wastes require special handling, proper storage, collection, treatment, and disposal because they may pose risks to human health, safety, and the environment.
Special waste can include several important categories:
๐. ๐๐๐ณ๐๐ซ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐
These are wastes that may be toxic, corrosive, flammable, reactive, or otherwise harmful to people and the environment. Examples include used batteries, chemical containers, pesticides, solvents, paints, and other chemical products.
๐. ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ก๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐
These are wastes generated from healthcare activities that may carry infectious or other health risks. Examples include used syringes and needles, contaminated gloves, gauze, bandages, and other potentially infectious materials. These should never be mixed with ordinary household waste.
๐. ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ค๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐
These are large items that cannot easily be placed in regular waste containers. Examples include old furniture, mattresses, large appliances, and other oversized household items. These require appropriate collection and disposal arrangements.
